1865 – 2026

No carrier reached counts an immigrant workforce arriving for a North Liberty works.The modern plant's workforce is the first the record numbers: 120 employees in 2011, on Hydro Aluminum's own account of its revitalization (Northwest Indiana Business Magazine, 7 April 2011; Trailer/Body Builders, 1 April 2011); 160 employees in the Southwest St. Joseph County business listing for Sapa (Hydro Aluminum), undated as read. Both figures print, neither preferred; they are eleven-plus years apart in their carriers and may both have been true when printed. On housing: no company housing, company town plat or employer-built workers' row for any North Liberty works was found in any carrier reached, and the honest negative prints as the finding — the plant's people live in the town and township as residents, not in company houses. The settler for a fuller test is the Sanborn and plat record in the maps leg.
